My Question or Issue
Im trying to watch JRE podcast and  only the audio format is available. 
There should be Video format available also right? If so, where/how to play video? Are videos for Rogan’s podcast not available yet for us in Canada? What’s the deal?

I have the same problem, only audio is available, I have tried 3 different devices, Android, iOS, windows PC, phones are both updated to the latest versions, also tried  clean reinstall, but no video is present, only picture and audio.

Spotify just launched in my country (Georgia), so could that be the problem?

Hey there @giotev, 

Thanks for reaching out about this. 

Since this issue is different to the one most users are experiencing in this thread, we'd recommend starting a new topic.

We'll carry on with the help there. 

Cheers!

Can you watch videos of podcasts using a console? A PS5 in particular?

[Maximus17]

No video on Roku.

Do you have a solution?

Data saver in settings, turn off audio only. Spotify has it on always because their idiots and want to make it harder for everybody.

There is no Data Saver setting for the web browser, desktop app, or the
Roku app, and none of those even give a video option for me. Thanks
though. That's a good idea for the mobile users.

I guess I am done watching JRE. 

Can't find the video options. Chrome or desktop. No TV options, I guess? That was slightly short sighted and definitely the primary access method for many people. 

Ads? I am a premium member. Why ads? 

Before the move, I watched ad-free videos on my TV, and now I can't even find the videos or listen without ads.

Hey folks,

Writing to quickly confirm that videos are not available everywhere at the moment.

This might also mean they aren't in places where Spotify recently launched.
